hi everyone

I have an expression tag that is triggered by a getBit. For example, alarmX is triggered when it is bit 5. Now the question is, what Alarm Mode configuration mode should I select to contradict the expression? That is, how to disable an alarm when it is bit 5?

regards

after reading the manual, I changed the Mode to Equal to 0 and it worked.
